FIB
They are actually called FIB (Flying Inflatable Boat) as i know it`s only Lomac that builds them, se the link below.
http://www.inflatableboatslomac.com/en/cat/fib.htm
And i also think you need some kind of pilot licens to fly them.
Regards
Petrov

Andy, I don't think the standard Suzi issue prop will be sufficient either! Maybe call the rib 'Red Bull'

Dear Ian,
I hope you've booked something a bit more airworthy for the Jersey trip i.e. BA business class. I dont do Easyjet ever since I found out it was run by a Greek.
Yours Faithfully
David

What Jersey trip? We do not have any cheap airlines that fly over here. Only BA and a few other rip-off airlines.

Manning may be going to Jersey but I'm off to Guernsey. No cheap flights to there either! I may get dates mixed up but at least I know where I'm going!

I am aware of this fact which is why I'm going to Jersey 
Charles, he's told his missus we're going on a progress check but I say bugger the boat, I'm on the razzle.

Might have a chance to put some faces (and beers) to names.
